Ahhh Fazoli's, I remember when they opened in Pueblo, my family would go to Pueblo just about every weekend (from La Junta), and we couldn't get enough of Fazoli's and their bottomless bread sticks. Small town folks are pretty easy to please.Quote:

Had Cane's chicken fingers for dinner. They're succeeding by keeping it simple.
Cane's is very good. Lemonade is great.
Exactly how I feel about it. It's another fast-food chain. Great.Quote:

I'll take Raising Canes over In and Out any day.
Cane's is 5 mins from my house . . . have been there a few times (the kids really like it). Chicken fingers are pretty good. They're not "ZOMG . . . this is heaven" like I was expecting from the hype. But they are tasty.
In-N-Out is ok. I have been to CA a bunch on business and have had it several times. Same reaction as Cane's. It's good, but it's not the best burger and fries I've ever had.
I'm from California and I love In N Out. Is it the best burger - No. It's not ment to compete with restaurants. But for fast food - Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, etc - my opinion is that it's far better. Patties are fresher. They aren't frozen.Quote:

I used to eat at Tommy's and they had a few locations. None were as good as the original in the Valley by Budweiser Gardens.
I ate at the one in Hollywood back in June and it's just as good as burgers, dogs and fries slathered in chili can be...Quote:

It was when they use to give bottle/can soft drinks and unlimited yellow pepper. My record was 20. I think I probably lost about 5 lbs that week from eating 20 peppers.
Only thing I would recommend is that just pay that extra x cents and get a chilli on top of the fries.
Chili goes on everything!!!

I could have a whole thread on "if it has beans, corn, tomatos, or mushrooms, it's really a stew... with chili IN it."
But at the same time, I know Texans didn't invent chili- they just perfected it. [Poke]
Kinda' like BBQ.[Coffee]Quote:

Oh yeah. Just setup a stand in Cane's parking lot. [rockon]Quote:

Meh. [Shake] Ate there the last time I was in CA. Didn't do anything for me. None of the "new" burger joint chains excite me.
When did White Castle become good? Spent some time in OH and was never impressed with them. Didn't like Tony Packo's either.
Now, if Milt's, Rod's Herd Burgers or Jack's Atomic Dogs came to CO, I'd get excited.
I agree.Quote:
